Corinthians weigh up move to bring Spurs misfit Gomes back home to Brazil

Corinthians are lining up a move for Tottenham's out-of-favour goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has said that
Gomes can leave the club in January. The 30-year-old keeper has been linked
with a return to PSV Eindhoven, but Corinthians hope to bring the Brazil international back to his homeland.

Gomes lost his place to new signing Brad Friedel at the start of the season but has now effectively been relegated to third choice behind Carlo Cudicini.

Redknapp revealed last week that Gomes is 'unhappy' at falling down the pecking order at White Hart Lane.

'He's not happy and he's eyeing a January move,' said Redknapp. 'If the chance comes for him to play elsewhere, I'm sure he'll take it.

'I've not bombed out Gomes and made him No 3 keeper but we decided Carlo Cudicini would be better on the bench.

'Gomes has trained hard but Friedel is fantastic. If ever there was a man who didn't deserve those two beatings by Manchester United and Manchester City, it was him.'
